v0.7.0 β Cauchy completeness of β
β is now Cauchy complete β every regular sequence of reals converges. Pure Lean 4, no Mathlib, no sorry, axiom-clean, and choice-free.
With β a commutative ring up to β (v0.6.0), this brick proves the constructive analogue of "β is complete" β the foundation the transcendentals will stand on (a power series is exactly a regular sequence of its partial sums).
RRegβ a regular sequence of reals:X jandX kagree within1/(j+1)+1/(k+1)as reals (with the canonical index modulus2/(n+1)).Rlimβ Bishop's diagonal limitn β¦ (X(4n+3))_{4n+3}. The4n+3reindex reads each real far enough out that the diagonal is itself a regular sequence of rationals (RlimSeq_regular), soRlim Xis a genuine constructive real.Rlim_tendsToβ convergence with an explicit rate:X k β Rlim Xwithin1/(k+1).RTendsTo_uniqueβ limits are unique up toβ(via the generalized Archimedean lemma + the linear-bound criterion).
Choice-free. Because the regular-sequence data carries its own modulus, the diagonal construction needs no countable choice β the #print axioms audit shows only propext, Quot.sound, never Classical.choice. (For modulus-free Cauchy reals, completeness is independent of constructive ZF; carrying the modulus is what avoids that.)
Honesty. CI machine-verified green (the "Mechanized-honesty audit" step is success for the release commit): no sorry, no native_decide, no stray axioms. The crux (Hodge index on π = RH) stays none β never asserted.
Status (fresh mid-2026 synthesis). RH remains open; there is still no accepted π½β-scheme theory realizing Spec β€ Γ_π½β Spec β€ with an intrinsic intersection theory (the Feb-2026 ConnesβConsani On the Jacobian of Spec β€Μ is an ArakelovβPicard reinterpretation, not the square). The substrate makes the analytic half statable and checkable, never proven β proving Ξ»β β₯ 0 βn is RH.
Next (v0.8.0). The transcendentals β exp/log/cos via convergent series with rigorous rational error bounds, standing directly on this completeness.
